The Race for Solar Paint: Mercedes-Benz Joins the Innovation
As the conversation shifts to larger automakers, Sam highlights Mercedes-Benz's venture into solar technology. The German luxury brand has tested solar paint that claims to provide an additional 20,000 kilometers of annual range, a significant boost to electric vehicle functionality. However, Sam cautiously expresses skepticism about the feasibility of these claims, suggesting it may be more plausible under optimal sunny conditions rather than in diverse climates like Germany.
